Yes please! I could die happy.

Hey guys We're having the long awaited 15-16 Season Streaming Party this weekend so make sure to fill out the doodle list if you want to participate. https://beta.doodle.com/poll/h2q7n9yzucd2t3f5

LOL I think he won't need paprika to win SC gold next season anymore Why are you guys trying to make him eat paprika tho, I get his fear, paprika is really weid!

Well, like I said I am not that well versed in training strategies. Yuzu did say that he's been doing more full fletched RTs in practices so you might be right. But he's also been emphasizing avoiding over-training in order to stay injury-free aka being able maintain an overall good condition throughout the season. Competitions are different from practices in their intensity so it would probably make it more difficult for him to control his pace in training... but who knows

It was cancelled...

Yes, that's kind of what I meant, sorry for not being clear. To maintain a "long" peak he should probably not over-exert himself so early in the season I think? But I'm not that well versed in training strategies.

Hmm Yuzu is different from Shoma, I think his interest would rather lie in trying to postpone his peak. I doubt he'll go to Finalndia Trophy.

Yep, which makes it a perfect choice for this season. Chopin suits him very naturally, rather than getting into a character and performing for an audience it seems like Chopin helps him express himself in that moment. And since he's such a brilliant person (lol) the performance itself becomes brilliant- Chopin amplifies his brilliance. Man I love LGC, too, it helped him mature and grow as a performer, but I'm happy he chose Chopin over it. It's gonna be great.

Oh god... his reaction to the 17cm was gold. That laugh was definitely that of someone who's already managed to jump the extra 17cm.

I wouldn't be surprised if his nightmares include some other skater landing the 4A in comp before him

Yeah but it's Yuzu we're talking about Of course he's not going to come out and say "I want to land an ISU ratified 4A one day" but I'm pretty sure that's what he dreams about at night. Aside from that, if it were his ultimate goal, I doubt he would drop it bc the BV isn't as high anymore, there would be other reasons for that.

I doubt Yuzu would care about risk/reward, it's about landing the first 4A in competition.

Not yeeeettttt I want to believe Yuzu has enough chill to at least put the 4A off for this season

Well according to other sources he's already landed some 4As so this isn't really news as far as I know? I doubt he's actively practicing it nowadays...

Such a beautiful interview and it confirms our observations... no I'm not crying Thank you so much @gladi!

I did a Chopin marathon again... Taking deep breaths, Eyes closed and calm expression. He's off to rule the ice.

@Nerdincool Welcome to the planet and please post more! Ikr, it's so hard to fathom why anyone would hate on Yuzu. I'm still laughing at that post bc most of the "evidence" they show speaks more for Yuzu than for the point it's trying to make. (major lol @ the photo evidence for Yuzu harassing others) Btw, Yuzu had very good and positive press coverage in Korea during 4CC
